I never knew Buddy, but I knew he was a great songwriter, singer, and story-teller. I appreciate this because he's still a weekly singer on my Rez, Hoka.
I am a proud Canadian native Mohawk, i watched Dreamkeeper the other day , great movie. This is were i heard this great mans music for the first time. I love it ,so emotional, so real , this man sings from the heart and soul. So sad hes been taken away from Mother Earth way too early. His music makes me proud to say and be a Native, Mark. Yeha Noha .
Not only was Buddy Red Bow a great singer but, he was an awesome incredible chronicler of Indigenous pain created by white encroachment and cultural genocide.
Native boy, I am so lucky to have two originals that buddy red bow gave to me, one by Eddie two bulls & and one by your dad Tim I knew him good, used to see him at the pow wows & sun dances, i’m the harp player on reservation cowboy and brother of the road😎 i’m 77 now, Johnny Acevedo, mitakuye oyasin
